To my friends and cohorts at last night’s region 2 meeting I want to apologize for my little rant. Sometimes I tend to let my passion for our sport get the best of me and I get a little carried away. All of you at the meetings I believe share the same passion or else you wouldn’t be there and I apologize for taking my frustrations out on you. Your all the best . Thanks Jim

you know Jim your passion is what makes people Like yourself, Arlene, Angie and many others Just right for their positions. With Passion comes frustration and anger and sometimes you have to vent all that frustration and let it out. In my personal opinion there is no better place than the region Meeting to unleash that Frustration because all the members that attend those meetings want to be or are just as passionate as you are. it's that passion that shows everyone around you that your working hard on their behalf. we also appreciate what you are trying to do on the forums like Northwest Wheelers to bring education about our fight to those that don't know and don't understand.
